Malayalam in Malayalam
None of the options here is the name of the language, so there is no equivalent to give for this entry. What the list holds instead are ordinary Malayalam words whose explanations mention the language, such as കൈ (kai), hand, and അറിയാം (ariyaam), knows. Treat the entry as a grouping accident rather than a translation.
Hand, the part of the body at the end of the arm, used for holding and working; arm, the limb from the shoulder to the hand, in everyday Malayalam the same word covers arm and hand.
കൈ നന്നായി കഴുകുക.
kai nannaayi kazhukuka.
Wash your hands well.
